Rusby of |: lewark, formerly an expert of the ‘1 United States Burean of Chemistry, hias besn delayed or prevented, it was last night, by the refusal o! t'ha stafe department to issue a pass- port to Maximilan Von Hoegen, a law- yer of New Haven, who did legal work for Captain Franz Von Papen, the %3 German military attache, before he . * fetget that fact. ‘was recalled Von Hoegen, Iast night said thc passport has been withheld because enemies of his had supplied the state department and the department of Justice with faise reports that he was . acting In the interests of Germany, and that his purpose in a¢companying J\c expedition to South erica was r up trouble. 'As & matter of fact,” he said, “our 7 misson s one of humanity, as its pur- pose is to collect valuable drugs, which are scarce i this country at present.” Von Hoegen said the deel!lon ta &0 into Colombia had been made by Dr. Rusby, himself, and others in the latter part of February. The chief ive for the expedition as stated In letter from Dr. Rusby, urging that & pessport be given to Von Hoegen, ‘was the need of quinine in this coun- atry. . Dr. Rusby called attention to the statement -that the United States army would need 100,000 pounds of quinine, d asserted that there was barely 10,000 pounds of the dn-' in ' the country at this time. Admits Being Pro-German. «) Von Hoegen expressed great indig- ' mation last night that conditions in Colombie, the fact that the expedi- tion was put forward since the war began, his German birth, his employ- ment by Captain Von Papen, and the -of which -he com- plained, had been considered sufficient _reason to refuse him a passport- “The work we want to 4o is the m:. .on!y constructive work Inva world de- Off With - ; ts‘k” :mo-.-uuc- When you've got to walk on the ot your shoe to get ay from those awful cern-pains, there’s only one common-sense o o Mut ¥ er 3 acend or “etaty o eotn Huht dway.

I have submitted to the state department certificates showing that I have voted here since 1907 or 1908, and that I have been elected to public offices such as justice of the Peace in New Haven. I am _not ashamed of the work I did for Cap- tain Von Papen in my professional capacity and I would do it again un- der the same circumstances. “All this trouble has been caused by personal enemies or over-enthusi- pstic Yankees, who have acted anony- 'moully against me. Every effort has been made to induce the state depart- ment to let me go on this work of mercy, but it has had no effect so far. Is this the right way to treat a good American citizen, and is it a,good way to go about keeping a man loyal?" The wark which Von Hoegen did for Von ci’unn was that of procur- ing, alleged evidence to support the charge made by the Germans that the English were using soft-nosed bullets miade in Hartford or New Haven. Von {oegen asserted that he had proved the German case. e was quoted in an interview on one occasion &s say- ing that, in case of war between thé United States and Germany the Amer- fcans of German descent would fight on the side of Germany, but he de- nted this emphatically last night, and said that he had forced & retraction. Von Hoegen is a graduate of Yale and a former member of the Yale Aero club. 'Waa to Act As Manager. When he was asked how he; as a lawyer, would fit Into an expedition of the scientific character proposed, Mr. Von Hoegen said that he was to have been the manager of the party, as he was younger than the others in the party. As ite purpose was to en- list the services of natives in gather- ing plants for drugs, Von Hoegen sald he was to remain in charge of ‘the trading post while the sclentists pushed ahead with their explorations. He said he also would have acted as a photographer. ‘At. Dr. Rusby’s home in Newark it was said last night that Dr. Rusby, Wwho is 62 years old, has been serioust: 1Ml for several days, and that the exp: dition might have to be given up cause of his condition. It was denled of the party objected to Von or that there was any ground !ar suspecting his loyalty.

Regular fifty- cent and one-doliar sise bottles for Warns House Tax Bill Is Merely | a Beginning Washington, May 15.—Represent- ativée Ebeneser J. Hill of Connecticut, a republican member of the ways and means committee, warned the house yesterdey that the Iimpending war taxation bill was only & start in the taxation this country must stand be- cause of the war with Germany, and that another revenue bill probably must be passed next December. “I have no doubt,” sald Mr. Hill, “that notwithstanding the $1,800,000, 000 we raise this year by this bil (] shall be called upon io raise $3,000,. 000,000 or double the amount of taxes, next year. “I think our expenditnres this year will be $10,000,000,000 counting the cost of financing the Allles, and 1 think next year it will be $15,00,000,- 000, counting the cost of finanding tho Allfes. We might as well this proposition like men, and not haggle about a tax on jewelry: a tax.en au- tomobiles, and this tax and that. The tax ig going to reach everybody botore you get through with it.” . The item of inmterest on the war bends alone, he said, would be a vast sum one not included in the: estimates of the treasury department recently submitted to congress. It was foolish, Mr. Hii argued, to expect the allied governments, 'to whom loans are made, to begin the payment of inter- est immediately. It may be vears, he said, before the allied governmernits can meet thess payments, but the in- terest on the American bondc must be paid promptly. Bond Issue to Meet by January. “The interest on the bonda,” ‘Hill went on, “amounts to $193,50/ 000 a year, and that does not inck the six months ‘interest on the certifl cates of indebtedness. We have prac- tically emtered a program of the Allies' at the rate of $400,000,000 a month, We shall have exhausted ‘the authorised bonds by January. ‘There are fourteen months of the life of this bill--May and June and twelve months of the fiscal year 1918. " At s m month we shall require L4 bonds, and we have umwflnd oaly §3, 000,000,000 for the Allfen.” Other items not included in the es- timates, safd Mr. Hill, include millions for the support of the dependent fam- ilies of married men who may be sent the front, deficiency appropriations r the navy and appropristions for the increased pey of the army—in- definite .figures depending upon the duraetion of the war and the number of men sent into action. “According to the estimates,” said Mr. Hill, “this bill will give us $1,.- 800,000,000, but we are not going to get that amount or anything lfke it. Why? We have authorized five and a ‘half billions this vear of tax-free honds, and it means scaling $110,000,- 000 right off your income tax receipts which are put in the estimate. For every billion dollars of tax-free bonds that we issue you scale twenty mil- Hion_ dollars from the receipts of the fhoome tax.” 1 Mr. Hill suggested that there ghould have been assessed a tax on newspaper advertising to be puud along to the advertiser, or buyer. ' This tax, he sald, ‘was preferable to an increased rate on letters and post cards. CONNECTICUT WOMAN . INJURED- Man Carrying Word of Accident Shot by Guardsman. Keene, N.'H., May 16.—Mrs. Laura Harper of Waterville, Conn., was ser- fously injured when a carriage in which she was riding was struck by an automobile here last night. . At the hospital to which she was taken it :flu said that her recovery was doubt- Fred Watkins, a'traveling salesman of Detroit, was shot by a National Guardsman at a rallroad bridge while on the way with three other men to carry word of the accident to friends whom Mrs. Harper had been visiting in South Keens. The guardsman said that he halled the party whose auto- mobile sped umder the bridse, and on receiving’ no reply, fired. The men said they did not hear the warning. ‘Watkins was wounded in the head but’ & surgeon sald that the wound ‘was not dangerous. BAY STATE PRODUOTS- Maaufacturers for 1016 50 Per Oent. Greater Than in 1915. Boston, May 15—In & report today on manufactures in this state, director Charles F. Gettemay of the bureau of statistics sald that returns for 1916 thus far tabulated indicated a prob- able increase of 60 per cent. in the value of manufactured products over the previous year. In 1915 the total manufactured output was valued at $1,692,445,336, an increase of about $50,000,000 over 1914, The report points out that indus- try did not recover from the first shock of the war until September, 1915. But for the great increase in exports the total value of manufac- tures for 1915 would have been lower than for several years. OLAUDE LEROUX NAMED. Claude J. Leroux, a well known plumber, was last night elected as councilman from the first ward to take the seat made vacant by the resignation of Charles May. Howard L.
